We bulk bill patients with a current Aged or Disability Pension card and children of Health Care Card holders. You will need to present a valid card at the time of your appointment and it will need to meet Concessional Entitlement checks with Service Australia. We privately bill all other patients with a concessional rate available for Health Care Card Holders and other Pension cards including JobSeeker, Carer Payment, Youth Allowance and Parenting Payment.
Please be aware we do not bulk bill on Saturdays. Bulk Billing is also up to the discretion of each individual doctor.
The doctors run by an appointment system that allows them to allocate a certain amount of time to each patient. If your doctor does not have an available appointment time, we cannot book you in. We will offer the next available appointment with your preferred doctor, or the next available appointment with any available Doctor.
Northside Clinic maintains a confidential database for reminding and recalling patients for follow up treatments, immunisations, cervical screening tests, and other preventable healthcare issues. Patients who do not wish to be included on the database should advise their doctor. Whilst we make every effort to send reminder messages, it is still the responsibility of the patient to return for further visits if your doctor has indicated that this is necessary. Registered patients of the clinic will receive SMS reminders of their appointments. This is sent out the day before the appointment. Please respond to the message to indicate your confirmation of attendance. Unconfirmed appointments may be cancelled. If you do not wish to receive reminder SMS messages for appointments, please advise the reception staff.
The doctors run by an appointment system. If you wish to speak with a GP you need to book an appointment. The Doctors only work certain session times and are only available when they are here for a session.
